Stevia – you can include stevia or the sweetener that you usually include in your low carb lifestyle to satisfy sweet cravings, such as powdered sweetener, granular sweetener, monk fruit sweetener or powdered erythritol.

Folding the cream cheese mixture together

Lemon – I’ve included a little lemon zest and lemon juice in my dessert for the classic lemon cheesecake flavors. You could include lemon extract instead for a boost of lemon flavor.

Keto Vanilla Cheesecake Fluff – create a lemon flavored dessert by swapping the lemon for half to a teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Keto Strawberry Cheesecake Fluff – mix through or top your dessert with fresh berries such as chopped strawberries, raspberries or blueberries.

Chocolate – to make the dessert chocolate – add in a tablespoon of cacao powder or cocoa powder, and grate a little dark chocolate over the top too fora keto cheesecake recipe that’s low in grams of net carbs.

Here are the low carb diet approved ingredients that you’ll need to make the pan-seared salmon dish:

Salmon Fillets – choose from a variety of different types of salmon including wild-caught salmon, Atlantic salmon or any other fresh salmon that you can get a hold of. You can also use frozen salmon filets if you’d prefer.

Ideally your salmon will have it’s skin on so that you can enjoy the crispy skin that this recipe produces.

December 24, 2023 by Easy Keto Living

Low Carb Sauce Recipes – The 5 best easy keto friendly sugar free delicious dipping sauces, creamy dressings and condiments to make.

Low Carb Sauce Recipes

These low carb sauce recipes are the best way to add plenty of healthy fats to a low-carb diet meal.

Of course you can just drizzle a little hot sauce, tomato sauce, soy sauce or olive oil over a dish to add flavor, but as you’ll see, these keto sauce recipes need very little effort to prepare and taste incredible.

The best thing is that, as you’ll see, these delicious keto sauces are all so easy to make. They make a brilliant alternative to sauces and salad dressings that you’ll find at grocery stores, that may have an ingredients list that includes added sugar not keto friendly ingredients.

1. Keto Cheese Sauce

Broccoli topped with creamy keto cheese sauce - low carb sauce recipes

A great way to add cheesy goodness to low-carb dishes is with this cheese sauce recipe that consists of only 3 ingredients – sour cream, almond milk and plenty of grated cheese.

You can include mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese or include a mix of cheeses for the ultimate cheese sauce to serve with low-carb meals.

You can of course add in sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder or any other flavor that’s low in g net carbs that you’d like. Or, swap the sour cream for cream cheese or mascarpone cheese for an extra rich, luxurious cheese sauce that’s ketogenic diet approved.

The sauce can be poured over a plate of vegetables, like the above pictured broccoli with cheese sauce, poured over zucchini noodles or served with your low-carb vegetables of choice.

2. Keto Mushroom Sauce

Creamy mushroom sauce cooking in the frying pan

I adore this mushroom sauce as my favorite sauce to serve with a hearty steak to enjoy as a quick and easy keto meal.

You may prefer to serve yours with a comforting roast meal, such as a roast chicken, instead.

The best part is that the creamy mushroom sauce has only a couple of ingredients and couldn’t be simpler to prepare.

To make this easy recipe, simply brown plenty of chopped mushrooms and garlic until reduced and browned, then pour over a generous amount of cream and bubble until you have an indulgent, creamy garlic infused steak sauce that’s full of extra flavor and has a low carb count.

3. Russian Dressing

If you’d prefer a choice of low carb sauces that don’t require any cooking, then this Russian Dressing is the perfect sauce option.

To make the delicious sauce, you stir together the simple ingredients of sour cream, tomato sauce, paprika and salt to create a tasty sauce that has a multitude of uses, here are some ideas for you:

Irish Corned Beef and Cabbage
Keto Fried Chicken

Keto Steak Dinner
Keto Onion Rings
Keto salad
Leftover roast chicken
Chicken tenders, chicken nuggets or chicken wings
Bunless burger

4. Blue Cheese Sauce

This cheesy sauce is packed full of so much flavor and perfect as a dipping sauce or pouring sauce over a salad, meal or even low-carb pasta.

To make the simple sauce, combine together heavy cream, sour cream and mayonnaise, together with apple cider vinegar, seasoning and – of course – plenty of crumbled blue cheese.

5. Low Carb Pizza Sauce

Making low carb diet approved homemade sauces to enjoy with your favorite recipes is so easy and is likely to have less sugars and carbs than store-bought sauces from the grocery store.

All you need to make this keto spaghetti sauce is a can of chopped tomatoes, salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano and basil to create a homemade sauce that’s perfect to enjoy with keto pizza or pasta.

You can also add in a little tomato paste or red wine vinegar for a richer sauce to satisfy your taste buds.

Is Dark Chocolate Keto Friendly?

December 20, 2023 by Easy Keto Living

Is Dark Chocolate Keto Friendly? Can you eat chocolate on a low-carb diet? With the best keto-friendly brands, dark chocolate bar options and recipe ideas.

Is Dark Chocolate Keto Friendly?

Is Dark Chocolate Keto Friendly? That’s a question I’m often asked by blog readers and followers of a low-carb diet.

The short answer is that yes – you are likely to find chocolate bars or chocolate chips that are low enough in sugar and grams of net carbs to both satisfy your sweet tooth and be able to fit into your keto diet plan.

For me, the best option to get the most of the health benefits of unsweetened chocolate is to opt for one free of too many artificial sweeteners, which just don’t agree with me, and rather opt for one as low in natural sugars or a natural sweetener like stevia or monk fruit sweetener instead.

How Many Carbs In Chocolate?

Depending on the chocolate bars or chocolate chips you pick, the carb content and included ingredients can vary wildly. You’ll find that the higher percent cocoa solids equates to a lower sugar amount and fewer carbs.

Unfortunately regular milk chocolate and white chocolate tends to have a high sugar content as opposed to dark chocolate brands that naturally have less sugar due to the higher portion of cocoa butter and cocoa content, sometimes including unsweetened cocoa powder.

Sugar-free chocolate can often include sugar alcohol or artificial sweeteners which, as I mentioned, don’t agree with me, so I prefer to opt for a small serving size of an 85% or 90% dark chocolate that has a rich chocolate flavor without artificial ingredients.

As a general rule of thumb small amounts of low-carb chocolate is a great option to get your chocolate fix, while also helping you to stay on plan to achieve your own personal health and weight loss goals.

As mentioned, different types of chocolate will have a different carb count. With that being said, here is a look at the nutritional value from one of the best keto chocolate options that I could find at my local grocery store, 85% Lindt, per 100g:

584 calories
46g Fat
27g Saturated Fat
22g Carbohydrates
15g Sugars
12.5g Protein

I’d recommend not consuming an entire block of chocolate in one sitting, but aiming for around a 25g portion so that the dark chocolate fits within your daily macros. A 25 gram portion of 85% Lindt would have the following nutritional content:

146 calories
11.5g Fat
6.75g Saturated Fat
5.5g Carbohydrates
3.75g Sugars
3.125g Protein

Aldi and Green and Blacks Organic Options

In addition to Lindt 85%, 90% or even 99%, depending on where you are in the world, there are a number of other brands producing keto friendly chocolate.

These include Green and Blacks Organic Dark Chocolate, Lily’s Sweets Chocolate Chips and one of my personal favorites is budget friendly Aldi, which have an 85% dark chocolate option that’s perfect in all kinds of keto recipes.

Easy Keto Desserts Recipes With Chocolate

Here are some keto lifestyle friendly recipes to satisfy your chocolate cravings.

Is Dark Chocolate Keto Friendly - hot chocolate

Hot Chocolate – as a chocolate lover, I enjoy a warming, indulgent mug of hot chocolate most days, no matter the weather.

This sweet treat is super easy to make and is naturally low in g net carbs. Simply heat almond milk and a little heavy cream until just starting to gently bubble, then whisk through a couple of dark chocolate squares to melt and pour out into a mug. You can top your drink with a little whipped cream to naturally elevate the fat content to help you meet your daily keto macros.

Chocolate Mousse – this keto chocolate recipe has only a few simple ingredients including an entire bar of low carb friendly chocolate. This easy recipe is full of healthy fats and also happens to be potentially dairy free, as long as the chocolate you pick is without milk solids, which 85% plus chocolate tends to be. (Just be sure to check the packaging carefully if serving to someone who has a dairy allergy.)

Keto Fudge – you can create indulgent fudge with a good chocolate that doesn’t have much sugar, peanut butter and your keto sweetener of choice. These are perfect to be able to enjoy the taste of those always popular peanut butter cups while being keto journey friendly.

Fat Bombs – keto dieters often find that a great way to get into a state of ketosis, and stay there, is to include fat bombs in their diet.

There are plenty of easy keto recipes and delicious options when it comes to creating the bite sized treats without many added sugars, including adding in coconut oil, butter or in the case of my 2 ingredient fat bomb recipe – mascarpone cheese.

Keto Truffles – these decadent chocolate truffles are low in grams of carbs and contain only 3 high quality ingredients – low carb chocolate, butter and heavy cream.

The ingredients are simply melted together and then set in the fridge, before being cut into bite sized squares and stored in an airtight container to be able to quickly grab when sweet, chocolate cravings strike.

Best Low Carb Yogurt Options

December 10, 2023 by Easy Keto Living

Best Low Carb Yogurt Options – keto friendly choices for yogurts to buy that are low-carb and low in sugars – with recipe ideas to enjoy.

Best Low Carb Yogurt Options

These are the best low carb yogurt options that are naturally low in carbs and also tend to be high in healthy fats.

They are also usually significantly lower in sugars than more regular yogurt options on the market, with the below options tending to include little to no added sugar, while still including all of the incredible health benefits that comes from including yogurt that contain live cultures in your diet.

It’s up to you whether you’d like to include artificial sweeteners in your diet, or stick to the yogurt options in this list that are unsweetened and then you can have control over the sweetness level yourself.

Just be sure to read the nutrition label and ingredient list carefully and be sure that the carb count and included ingredients meet your own personal dietary requirements.

Plain Yogurt

The first low-carb diet friendly yogurt option that’s low in grams of carbs, naturally high in grams of protein is plain or natural yogurt.

As the name suggested, plain, natural or traditional yogurt is plain in flavor, tangy in taste and usually without any additional ingredients aside from whole milk and bacteria which converts the lactose in the milk into lactic acid through the natural fermentation process.

The best yogurt is usually low in g net carbs, moderate in protein and high in healthy fat content.

Plain Greek Yogurt

Greek Yogurt is a type of yogurt that has the whey and other liquids strained away from the yogurt, making it a much thicker consistency and a more sour, tangy flavor that plain yogurt and other low-carb yogurt options, while still being low in grams of sugar.

Dairy-Free Option Ideas

There are a number of dairy-free options when it comes to store-bought yogurt. My local store has some good yogurt options that are made with coconut milk, almond milk and even cashew milk that have had active cultures and good bacteria added to create dairy-free yogurts with fewer carbs.

Check your local grocery store for different types of yogurt that have been made without dairy if you’re wanting to either include dairy free yogurt in your diet due to allergies or to balance the dairy products in your diet.

I personally really like the flavor of coconut yogurt, finding it naturally much sweeter than the dairy options, while still being low in total carbs.

Best Keto Yogurt Recipe Ideas

Here are some easy ideas for ways to include keto-friendly yogurts in your diet that are low in total carbohydrates:

By The Spoon – you may just feel like a spoon of yogurt after a meal will satisfy your sweet cravings on it’s own.

Chocolate Yogurt – a good option for a speedy chocolate treat as part of a healthy keto diet is to add a little cocoa powder and stevia to a portion of yogurt, give it a stir and enjoy.

Chia Pudding – you can easily prep a keto chia pudding ahead of time to enjoy as a nutritious snack or make ahead breakfast.

Here’s the video where you can watch the low carb chia seed pudding being prepared, step by step. Hit play below or click here to watch on YouTube.

Berry Breakfast Bowl – serve out a portion of yogurt and top it with fresh fruit such as strawberries or raspberries.

You can also add on a handful of nuts or seeds for added crunch and protein while keeping your carb intake as low as possible.

Choose from blocks you can slice yourself, already sliced cheese or wedges of indulgent cheese like brie that you can break little portions off to enjoy as a creamy snack.

The plain, natural and Greek yogurt selection at ALDI is low carb, high protein and cheerfully cheap.

My local ALDI has started stocking a selection of flavors of protein pudding including coffee, strawberry, chocolate and vanilla.

Low Carb Soup Recipes

November 14, 2023 by Easy Keto Living

Low Carb Soup Recipes – 5 Best Low-Carb Keto friendly soups that are delicious and healthy.

Low Carb Soup Recipes

These 5 Low Carb Soup Recipes are all made with simple ingredients that are keto diet friendly and create the perfect comfort food meal, especially on a cold day.

I’ve made these all on the stove top, but you can feel free to use the same suggested ingredients and throw everything into a slow cooker instead, following your manufacturers instructions for cooking temperature and length of time for soups.

1. Keto Bone Broth

This Keto Bone Broth or keto chicken soup recipe is a great way to either use as a base for another hearty soup or to enjoy as a nourishing chicken broth on it’s own to enjoy all of the incredible health benefits.

You can even add in some zucchini noodles to create a tender chicken noodle soup that’s ketogenic diet friendly and that the entire family will enjoy.

To make the homemade chicken stock, brown onion, garlic and chicken in a large pot, you can use any piece of chicken you like, or even leftover bones so that nothing from a roast chicken meal goes to waste. Ideally including plenty of pieces with bones and skin, with pieces like chicken breasts not adding in the same nutrition as fatty pieces like thighs, legs or wings.

Add in salt, pepper and any other seasoning you like, then pour over water, stock or broth to cover. I like to also pour over a spoon of apple cider vinegar, to help the nutrients become released from the bones.

Simmer for 2-3 hours and then serve, or allow to cool to room temperature, place in the fridge and consume the next day for added flavor and nutritional benefits.

2. Broccoli Cheese Soup

Low Carb Soup Recipes - Broccoli Cheese Soup

Enjoy this Keto Broccoli Cheese Soup as a hearty lunch, speedy dinner or a warming starter to a meal.

The broccoli cheddar soup is easy, creamy and of course – super cheesy. You can top your soup with any cheese you like. Lately I’ve been fond of the natural saltiness that parmesan cheese adds to the simple meal.

To make the easy low carb soup recipe, heat coconut oil, olive oil or butter in a large saucepan then add in onion and garlic until browned, add in chopped broccoli florets, salt and black pepper and then almond milk and heavy cream to create a luxuriously creamy soup, without the need for any low-carb thickeners.

The comforting soup is simmered away until the broccoli has softened to be easily mashable, then you can either serve the soup as it is, mash with a potato masher or blend with a stick blender.

You can add in as much cheddar cheese as you’d like, some just before taking the soup off the boil and more when serving to create the ultimate cheesy broccoli soup that’s full of healthy fats.

3. Keto Zucchini Soup

This creamy keto zucchini soup is a budget friendly soup option to make when zucchini are in season, in abundance and cheap.

You can adapt your soup recipe to include a number of creamy ingredients that are low in net carbs cream cheese, sour cream, coconut milk or Greek yogurt, depending on what you have in your kitchen or what’s easy to find at your local grocery store.

4. Cauliflower Soup

Low Carb Soup Recipes - Cauliflower Soup

This easy cauliflower soup includes the great addition of blue cheese, which perfectly balanced the earthy flavor of the cauliflower in the flavorful soup.

To make this healthy soup, chopped cauliflower florets are cooked along with plenty of chopped onion and garlic until starting to soften, then stock, broth or water is poured over to cover and simmered until the vegetables are soft and ready to blend.

Once blended, pour heavy cream and almond milk into the soup and cook until bubbling once again. Serve out into bowls, crumbling blue cheese over a big bowl of soup for added flavor.

5. Vegetable Soup

This creamy vegetable soup combines together a selection of low carb vegetables to create a wonderfully nutritious, hearty soup.

You can adapt the simply soup recipe to include your choice of vegetables. In this instance I included a healthy combination of leek, zucchini, broccoli and brussels sprouts, making it a great way to get a huge selection of vegetables in yours and any picky eaters diets.

Toppings For Low Carb Soup Recipes

Here are some easy ideas for keto friendly ingredients that you can top your low-carb soup recipes with:

Creamy Ingredients – add in cream cheese, heavy cream, sour cream, coconut milk, coconut cream, Greek yogurt or almond milk for added creaminess.

Cheese – feta, goats cheese, parmesan cheese to add a cheesy element to easy keto soup recipes.

Eggs With Sun Dried Tomatoes

November 12, 2023 by Easy Keto Living

Eggs With Sun Dried Tomatoes – How to make an easy low carb keto friendly scrambled egg breakfast with sun-dried tomatoes.

Eggs With Sun Dried Tomatoes

This Eggs With Sun Dried Tomatoes recipe makes a super quick and easy, flavorful breakfast or breakfast for dinner.

The egg scramble is a great way to use up some sundried tomatoes, when you have a bottle open, or you can open one especially for this flavorful dish and then enjoy it each morning of the week, or any time of day.

You’ll see that the meal comes together in mere minutes. You simply heat a skillet or frying pan until hot, (shop skillets on Amazon) while waiting for the pan to heat, chop the tomatoes and whisk the eggs, then give everything a quick cook until heated, creamy and cheesy.

Best of all, sun dried tomatoes are rich in nutrients, making this a wonderfully healthy, nourishing meal that’s not only quick and easy to make, but also nutritious for you too. (Source.)

The Simple Ingredients For The Easy Recipe

Fork with the easy low carb keto breakfast

There are plenty of great choices when it comes to low carb, keto friendly ingredients to include in the creamy eggs meal:

Eggs – you can use your best eggs in this dish, mine are usually large eggs. Feel free to whisk heavy cream, almond milk or any other ingredient you’d like into your eggs to make them extra creamy.

The eggs can be whisked whole, you can separate the egg yolks and egg whites, whisking them separately before folding together for super light and fluffy eggs. Or if you’d prefer to only make scrambled eggs with egg whites only, you can do that too.

Sun dried tomatoes frying in the skillet

Tomatoes – I’ve included a few chopped sun dried tomatoes, but you may also like to add in fresh tomatoes or sun-dried tomato pesto for an even richer punch of tomato flavor. I just adore incorporating sun dried tomatoes into dishes, they are packed full of flavor, nutritious and keeping a jar in the pantry means that I can always whip up recipes just like this one.

Cheese – an essential ingredient in all kinds of my favorite keto egg dishes, I’ve included grated cheese, but you may prefer to switch to Parmesan Cheese, feta cheese, goat cheese or include a mixture of flavorful cheeses in your egg mixture.

Seasoning – add in your seasoning of choice, choose from simply adding a sprinkle of sea salt or black pepper, or you could add in oregano, basil or your herb of choice.

Extra Ingredients – feel free to flavor and enhance the flavor of your dish with your choice of extra ingredients, you may choose to add in chopped red onion, a few handfuls of baby spinach or even basil pesto for added flavor.
